RECORD (Akio Nagasawa Edition) — Daido Moriyama — Akio Nagasawa Publishing — 2017

Record began in 1972 as Moriyama’s attempt to create the simplest possible medium for immediately printing photographs from everyday life and passing them hand to hand. Suspended after issue No.5 in 1973 and revived in 2006, it became one of the central threads of his practice. This substantial Japanese edition condenses issues No.1–30 into 280 photographs reproduced at their original scale, together with Moriyama’s postscripts. A 424-page overview of a publication conceived outside the conventions of the finished photobook.
